Sinopsis

Bestselling author Donna Russo Morin captivates readers once again with the conclusion of her Da Vinci's Disciples Trilogy, delivering an exhilarating narrative that shines a light on the secret women artists of Florence, all under the guidance of the iconic Leonardo Da Vinci.
 
As the infamous "Bonfire of the Vanities" looms, a courageous group of female artists, known as Da Vinci's Disciples, must bravely maneuver through a city torn apart by religious fanaticism. With Leonardo mentoring them, they face the stifling ideals of Fra Girolamo Savonarola, a fervent figure whose radical campaign poses a dire threat to the very existence of art and literature, the very existence of the Disciples themselves.
 
Alongside the ambitious young sculptor Michelangelo, these artists dare to risk everything, launching an underground operation to smuggle precious works out of the clutches of destruction in Florence.
 
In THE FLAMES OF FLORENCE, Donna Russo Morin weaves a powerful historical tale that celebrates bravery and solidarity amid overwhelming odds, ensuring readers are left on the edge of their seats.
 
"Illicit plots, mysterious paintings, and Leonardo da Vinci all have their part to play in this delicious, heart-pounding work." ―Kate Quinn, New York Times and USA Today bestselling author of The Alice Network

Molly Black

“Molly Black has written a taut thriller that will keep you on the edge of your seat… I absolutely loved this book and can’t wait to read the next book in the series!”
—Reader review for Girl One: Murder

In the Maya Gray series (which begins with Book #1—GIRL ONE: MURDER), FBI Special Agent Maya Gray, 39, has seen it all. She’s one of BAU’s rising stars and the go-to agent for hard-to-crack serial cases. When she receives a handwritten postcard promising to release 12 kidnapped women if she will solve 12 cold cases, she assumes it’s a hoax.

Until the note mentions that, among the captives, is her missing sister.

Maya, shaken, is forced to take it seriously. The cases she’s up against are some of the most difficult the FBI has ever seen. But the terms of his game are simple: If Maya solves a case, he will release one of the girls.

And if she fails, he will end a life.

In GIRL TEN: WANTED (book #10), new victims are appearing near bodies of water, and the clue linking them is just out of Maya’s reach. When she finally has a realization, a shocking twist leaves her in the crosshairs, and makes her realize she just may be out of time….

A complex psychological crime thriller full of twists and turns and packed with heart-pounding suspense, the MAYA GRAY mystery series will make you fall in love with a brilliant new female protagonist and keep you turning pages late into the night. It is a perfect addition for fans of Robert Dugoni, Rachel Caine, Melinda Leigh or Mary Burton.
